that was when we first started. it almost hurts to think about. i didn't know much and he had much to teach me. but we both had some personal problems to work out. i always wish i had been smarter. it took so long and life is so brief. but i'm lucky even for the hard times we had. there isn't much we can change i guess, we mostly endure change made by stronger forces that surround us. me and mister did change though. we changed each other and we changed ourselves. we were together and we are and i can't imagine being apart.
